Patient Review Highlights

Feed

Sudden ear pain can be devided as aural (due to ear) or referred pain which needs to be differentiated. Important causes of reffered pain are from teeth, tonsils. Nasopharynx, base of tongue, temporomandibular (jaw) joint etc. So accompanying symptoms must be seen.

But most of the times, cause lie in ear itself. Excrutiating pain in outer ear especially while touching ear can be due to otitis externa or furunculosis. Which in easy words can be explained as bacterial infevtion of outer ear leading to swelling in ear.

Another important and very common cause in asom. In this patient will have pain but not on touchhing. This can sometimes lead to hole in tympanic membrane. Hence it becomes very important to differentiate all these causes before starting treatment. Proper treatment is to be taken rather than trying quacks or just pain killers.

Sneezing is a symptom, not a disease. So all patients having sneezing are not treated in a similar way. Differentiating each condition becomes necessary before self drugging. Common diagnoses are common cold or allergic rhinitis. Visit or consult your ent surgeon, get a nasal endoscopy done to evaluate nasal cavity and sinus openings and then go for treatment.

If you are allergic to a single allergen, desensitization might help. But multiple allergies is best managed by nasal sprays and avoidance of allergens. There is no permanent cure of allergy as it is reaction of your body to things which are not good for you.
